While not unique or exclusive to the Planet, The various Elkossian Factions are known to make use of a number of special Teknologies and Weapons.

*Infantry Armor - Regardless of where he calls home, Most Elkossian footsoldiers wear padded suits with composite armor covering most of their head and body.

*Post-War Weaponry - While technically any weapon made after the war is "Post-War", Some groups have made new designs, everything from the Refined, Elegant Dominion weaponry, Advanced Techon energy weapons, to the opposite end of the spectrum, in the ramshackle scrap weapons produced by the GTS

*GT - Almost exclusivley used by the Techon Sovereignty, Green Transparent energy weapons are not as powerful as OT, But the material is more abundant and controllable than OT, and is often used in ranged weaponry

*UGVs - Also known as Drones, Several factions make heavy use of Solar and Electrical powered Unmanned Ground Vehicles instead of gas powered conventional vehicles, The UGVs are made into a number of roles, like Infantry Support MG vehicles, Supply Carriers, and even Light Tanks.

*Medikal Tools - Using crucial equipment that was developed just before the war, Mediks have the ability to revive fallen comrades if they are able to reach them fast enough and provided the body is intact, The teknology is not perfect though, Low quality revival equipment is known to occasionally leave the fig insane or incredibly angry upon revival. Some Expert Mediks are able to revive moderatley dismembered bodies Known as two-stage revival, But the procedure cannot be done in the heat of battle, and is rather complicated. So two-stage revival is typically only done to minifigs or soldiers of importance, or if a power is in desperate need of numbers. Victors of a battle often collect the bodies of both sides after a fight, Revive the friends that they can, and dispose of the enemy bodies *not before stealing their equipment and weaponry though*
